A memory fault is usually caused by a bad pointer of going off the end of an array. If the program (expresso) has write permission in the directory that it is running in and it can write a 'core' file, the message would have been something like "memory fault - core dumped". You could take the executable and the core file and use a debugger (dbx, sdb, adb) to find out what is causing the problem. -- Conor P.
